Ian Fleming's famous fictional spy 007 is celebrating his 50th birthday, and the celebrations start with the exquisite Omega Seamaster James Bond 50th Anniversary Watch.
Omega's been backing the James Bond series since 1995 when Pierce Brosnan took over the role and started wearing the Seamaster model. The Omega Seamaster James Bond 50th Anniversary Watch celebrates that long partnership with a slick silver watch that uses caliber 2507 co-axial movement. The backside has a winding rotor with a bullet wedged into it as a nod to the opening sequence of the film. Look closer at the bullet and it reads "James Bond 50 Years."
Only 11,007 of these watches will be made and will be available some time early this year.
